24th Apr 2026 Good 3m 2f 127y Class 3 |
11st 13lb |
Low-mileage 7yo who was very well backed at Carlisle three weeks ago and ran out a ready winner (3m1f, good to soft); raised 6lb but appeals as a horse with more to offer. |
3/1 |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 4 |

Won a Newcastle novice for Lucinda Russell last season (2m4f, soft); hasn't done quite as well since and was pulled up on first run back with Nicky Richards at Haydock in February after being hampered; capable of better than he has shown; chance |

16th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 2 |

Veteran; mixes chasing with hurdling; sound run over hurdles when beaten a neck at Perth last time (3m2f, good); not out of it, but Sean Bowen rides stable companion Secret Trix. |
8/1 |

2nd 12 |
24th Apr 2026 Good 3m 2f 127y Class 3 |
10st 9lb |
Had lots of racing in Ireland before joining this yard last year; returned from a wind operation to win this 12 months ago off this very mark but he's an 11yo now and his last two runs, over fences and hurdles, weren't that encouraging. |
12/1 |

23rd Jan 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 5y Class 4 |

Had lots of racing in Ireland before joining this yard last year; won a 3m2f handicap hurdle at Perth last April (good to soft; 2lb lower) and one of his three recent chase runs was very respectable; exposed but has each-way claims. |

24th Apr 2026 Good 3m 2f 127y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
After a brief stint over fences he got back on track in beating 14 rivals over 3m at Windsor (soft) under a positive ride; however, there was a further reminder of his inconsistency when he dropped away tamely at Haydock in February; what does heighten interest is a pretty good record when fresh. |
8/1 |
|
7th 9 |
14th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 58y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
Back to form with a bang returned to hurdles when fending off Doughmore Bay in a valuable 3m handicap at Windsor (soft) 27 days ago; allowed to bowl along at the head of affairs in that contest and there's possible competition for the lead from the likes of Red Dirt Road, Stone's Throw and Stay Away Fay here; still no surprise were he to progress again, though. |
9/1 |
|
1st 14 |
18th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 2 |
10st 4lb |
Two chase efforts this season leave a doubt over his current form; disappointing in last hurdles attempt so there are enough reasons to oppose him in this competitive race. |

25th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 83y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
Won twice over today's trip at Warwick for Dan Skelton last season (soft/good to soft); started off for Christian Williams with two pretty good efforts on good ground towards the end of that campaign but may find others in this line-up better handicapped. |
12/1 |
|
4th 11 |
24th Apr 2026 Good 3m 2f 127y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Won races for Dan Skelton (2m1f/2m3f) and Olly Murphy (3m1f); now on a career-high mark, off which he was no match for the front two on stable debut at Bangor (2m7f). |
9/1 |

3rd 6 |
21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 32y Class 3 |

Won twice over hurdles for Dan Skelton last season (2m1f/2m3f) and twice for Olly Murphy this term (3m1f); ran poorly on latest outing five weeks ago, though, and remains on career-high mark for this stable debut. |

24th Apr 2026 Good 3m 2f 127y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
His first run at about 3m when winning at Newcastle (good to soft) and then ran second at Warwick; latest Musselburgh run wasn't too shoddy given he was held up off the pace before staying on and he reportedly bled that day; had a break since and wouldn't be fully exposed as a stayer. |
12/1 |
|
7th 13 |
1st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Relished the step up in trip to make a winning handicap debut at Newcastle (3m, good to soft) in November; good second at Ayr (3m, soft) one month ago but position 3lb out of the handicap demands more from him today; claiming rider is recruited. |

12st 0lb |
A winner the last time he contested a Class 3 handicap (on reappearance) and he was boxing on when beaten a little under 10l in a deep Uttoxeter handicap last time out (2m7f, soft); looks sure to stay this far and has the assistance of Sean Bowen. |
6/1 |

6th 8 |
14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 70y Class 2 |
10st 12lb |
Heavy ground possibly contributed to his dip in form last time; ties in with Nab Wood on Carlisle running but both of them face a stiffer assignment in this field; gained reappearance win in lower grade. |
16/1 |

31st Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 7f 103y Class 1 |
11st 3lb |
Irish maiden point winner who also scored on handicap debut at Windsor (3m, good to soft; five ran) in November; creditable third of six at Carlisle (3m1f, soft) three weeks later, showing that he needs marked improvement off the same mark today, but these are relatively early days. |

24th Apr 2026 Good 3m 2f 127y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Front-runner; having his 40th career start but a first over 3m when successful at Taunton and he followed up at Plumpton (3m1f; again good to soft); subsequent defeat, again under Murray Dodd, suggests others in here might be better treated. |
10/1 |
|
2nd 4 |
9th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 198y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Showed improved form when stepping up to 3m to land his sixth success over hurdles, over C&D (good to soft) in February and followed up at Plumpton (3m1f, good to soft) last month; remains unexposed as a stayer and holds strong claims to land a three-timer. |
4/5 |
|
1st 2 |
9th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 217y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Front-runner who has been consistent this season and ended a long losing streak at Taunton (3m, good to soft) 11 days ago; went up 5lb for that but this track also suits him and he remains unexposed as a stayer. |

24th Apr 2026 Good 3m 2f 127y Class 3 |

Bumper and dual hurdles winner; penalties have been finding her out so handicaps now look a better option, but with her unraced beyond 2m5f there are some stamina doubts over this far. |
9/1 |
|
3rd 1 |
6th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 4f 100y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Bumper and dual hurdles winner who ran below market expectations in her Listed attempt; bounced back with a creditable effort, conceding 12lb to the winner, at Sedgefield (2m4f, good to soft); leading player, despite again carrying a big penalty. |
6/4 |
|
2nd 1 |
25th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 188y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Record of 1-3 in bumpers and 2-3 over hurdles; ran a long way below market expectations (third favourite) in Listed grade at Haydock most recently but warrants respect, even with a big penalty, back down in grade; gained one of her wins over C&D (soft). |

24th Apr 2026 Good 3m 2f 127y Class 3 |
11st 3lb |
Last run too bad to be true but had been consistent in novice/maidens and the previous third at Musselburgh (3m, good to soft) came in a strong race; the potential is there to be competitive off this mark on handicap debut. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 5 |
27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 84y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Runner-up on first three hurdle starts (2m4f/3m, soft/good to soft) before third of five in strong novice at Musselburgh (3m, good to soft) four weeks ago; suspicion his limitations may again be exposed today but he's receiving weight all round and might not be far away. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 5 |
31st Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
Runner-up on first two hurdle starts (2m4f/3m, soft/good to soft) before 12l second at Ayr (2m4f, soft) four weeks ago; today's step back up in trip looks a firm plus and he's receiving weight all round; possible player. |

Scored five times for previous stable; 0-6 for current yard but has posted a couple of encouraging efforts and the effects of a busy spell likely explain her last two runs; rested 32 days since; possibilities under James Bowen. |

27th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 4 |

25th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 83y Class 2 |

Started off for this stable with two laboured efforts but runner-up twice this month, more recently in C&D mares' race (good; in cheekpieces) on Saturday; will warrant consideration if she makes a quick reappearance in first-time blinkers. |

10st 6lb |
Last season he won 3m handicaps at Doncaster and Wetherby (both on good ground); his Ffos Las return was encouraging given the time he'd been absent and the soft conditions; in this scenario he's unexposed; considered. |

16th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |

Lightly raced 7yo who struck form at around this time last year, winning 3m handicaps at Doncaster and Wetherby (both on good ground); open to further improvement but this hat-trick attempt comes after a long absence and the different trip-and-ground combination is not sure to suit. |

Well beaten/pulled up over fences on his last two starts but has each-way claims on the pick of his form over hurdles this season and Gregor Walkingshaw gets a tune out of him. |

21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 4m 1f 56y Class 2 |

Wore cheekpieces on last four starts, to be placed twice over hurdles but not faring so well in two chases, including behind Val Dancer at Lingfield (upped markedly to 3m5f) last time; given wind surgery since and now has tongue tied first time; he's now 9lb below last winter's peak mark (even from out of the handicap) so has his chance if back on song. |
